Our character and interests demanded the proofs, to correct the numerous errors and misrepresentations, industriously circulated concerning the nature of our government, the condition of our institutions, and the general progress of the United States . The views, presented in the following pages, embrace all the permanent subjects of national importance, from the commencement of the government in 1789, to the 20th of April, 1818 ." (Advertisement).
